However, a trailer for the upcoming episode revealedBoden will return.
Walker: Boden lives inside of me.
My problem is stopping Boden from popping out.
[LAUGHS] It was amazing to go back.
It was amazing to put the uniform on.
Id missed everybody terribly, and the welcome that I got was second to none.
Thats what it was like, and then we went to work.
And we went to work in the way that we always work.
We knew that there was a very special episode.
Chicago Fire follows the lives of firefighters, rescue squad members, and paramedics of Firehouse 51 in Chicago as they face professional and personal challenges, showcasing their dedication, teamwork, and resilience.
I think youve got more of a movie here than an episode.
Deadline: Boden has been gone for a hot minute, and so many things have happened.
Bodens pick to succeed him was Hermann (David Eigenberg), who has now taken the chief exam.
Will he be weighing in on any of that?
Walker:With his situation as it stands, none of that stuff matters.
And you know, Bowdens investigating his old favorite house, so he has got to tread very carefully.
Hes been a chief whos been on the line.
Its Pascals [Dermot Mulroney] time this time, and Im the one coming in.
Theres only one person above me, and thats the commissioner.
I am the Deputy Commissioner coming in to find out why a firefighter is left behind in the fire.
It doesnt get more intense than that.
